Subject: Heavy hitters are still to come. Wilmington, Lake Norman & JoCo. I agree it’s a “weaker” year. Purdue will be back. Hoping Mallard too. Gastonia got in because she has a stellar interview & was consistent on stage. Caldwell I think she is a lovely person and works very hard. But not top 10. Not many have aged out since the ages changed again. HWL will be top 10 Young will probably make it again. Pearson, Purdue and Kate White in top 10 if she wins Wilmington if not hopefully she will compete at another and who ever wins Wilmington will probably be top 10 as well. Rowdy is top 10 material if she comes back. The young lady that won Stanly will be one to watch. If Sara Beth or Keelie come back this year both could come back hot after last summer if they want it bad enough. I’m excited I expect to see Radar back and Mary Micheal for teen. Side note thank you for the respectful conversation! That’s what this is supposed to be and I appreciate you and the exchange of thoughts!

In my opinion, she should go back to dancing, I don't care for the HerStory thing, but just look at Gastonia last year who wound up on Top 10 with one. Logan seems to have some strength in other areas that could land her in Top 10. In my opinion, from what I've seen so far, this is actually shaping up to be a weak year. Lots of newbies with no experience. Where are the heavy hitters? Have they moved on or aged out? Many contestants are winning that did not place in a 4-5 contestant field and then winning one down the road the next week. These are the future contenders once they get more seasoned, but are not contenders this year." on 18:46:01 12/14/25 Sun [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Oh I also think Garner & HP are ones to watch. Maybe not this year but they both have a lot of potential with their talents and resumes. (NT) No name 22:18:40 12/14/25 Sun Unfortunately, Keelie cant fit into her wardrobe. She has packed on the weight since state. (NT) No name 05:40:15 12/15/25 Mon Please stop. This is absolutely disgusting and hateful. Who hurt you so bad that you continue to bash this young woman. I’m am seriously concerned for your mental health and hope you will seek treatment. LEAVE HER ALONE. You would never ever say this if your identity wasn’t hidden. If you’re gonna be this way at Leeds (NT) -- No name, 07:36:12 12/15/25 Mon I am telling the truth. I have always been taught to tell the truth. (NT) -- No name, 08:02:49 12/15/25 Mon But you won’t do it with your real name or identity. You’re a coward and a pathetic human. I’m gonna pray for you because to be so vile is a sickness. We are having a civilized discussion and if all you can do is be nasty take that mess elsewhere. She didn’t win. She didn’t beat anyone. Why are you so worried about what she is doing in her life. Again I’ll be praying for your sickness. I hope God brings his wrath down on you so hard you have no choice but to ask for forgiveness and seek help.. you might not be a believer but I am and I’m praying so hard that you won’t get a wink of sleep until you fix that dirty rotten heart. In the name of Jesus help this person Lord they are clearly miserable and need an intervention. (NT) -- No name, 10:02:39 12/15/25 Mon Just to clarify......I am not the one who said bad things and I do know Jesus, lol. I never say anything bad or hurtful about a contestant because I've been on the bad side of these boards before and I know it can hurt. In any regard, I wanted to say something about Keelie Jones. I don't think I've ever seen a more polarizing contestant discussed on this board. Here is my opinion of Keelie. I first noticed this tall Amazon when she was Emerald Ridge Teen and thought she would eventually become Miss NC. I'm of the opinion that when she's at her peak performance, she is Miss America Top 5 potential. Yes, she was a little too sure of herself this past year as the returning runner up. And yes, she had gained weight. (Cont.) (NT) -- No name, 17:32:39 12/15/25 Mon She is also a loose cannon and would not be a timid, docile, queen. I don't know her well, but she strikes me as super competitive. I do not see her competing this year. She still has a few years left. I see her licking her wounds, then regrouping and coming back on fire.She was and is a formidable competitor. e. (NT) -- No name, 17:37:41 12/15/25 Mon We are also on the same page in regard to Garner and High Point, just maybe not this year. I could see a NFT for High Point. (NT) -- No name, 21:24:54 12/15/25 Mon You say you don’t say hurtful things here but what is helpful or kind about pointing out she’s gained weight? I would imagine she’s aware of her own body. And why refer to her as Amazon.. that’s not kind either. You say you know Jesus but I can’t imagine the Jesus I know saying those things even if they are “true”. HP could very well get a NF talent award and depending on which group she lands in after lottery could determine her potential for top 10. There are several other vocalist who will most likely beat her in talent including two that haven’t won yet but they will. Hopefully her committee will steer her away from them in the groups ( after many years of doing this I completely believe it matters where you land in groups for prelims) (NT) -- No name, 08:06:58 12/16/25 Tue Perhaps you and I are not on the same page when it comes to the term "Amazon." I consider Amazon a supreme compliment. It is used in the fashion industry to describe tall, statuesque, super models. It does not mean weight, at least to me. In regard to mentioning her weight, I'm not saying anything that multiple people have pointed out, and in the scheme of things, it was probably the list points in fitness that kept her out of the 10. I'm am speaking in terms of how a coach would coach an athlete. This was meant as constructive criticism and it was backed up with plenty of praise. Keelie knows what she needs to do, and I doubt her skin is that thin after competing so long. She just needs to make a few minor tweaks when she gets ready to come back. And yes, her Amazonian stature makes her stand out above every one else onstage, which in a pageant, is a good thing. (NT) -- No name, 17:12:55 12/16/25 Tue
